Wow. Look at what you've just said. You don't have
time to set the correct exposure. You're saying you don't have
time to shoot properly. I've never met a shooter that didn't have time to adjust his exposure.
It's like a chef who didn't have time to adjust his cook time, and sent everything out of the kitchen either burnt or under cooked because he didn't have time to pay attention to these superficial details. These details
are your product!
We're not talking about composition, focus, or even capturing the moment.
What you're saying is that you're lazy, and you don't want to be bothered doing the job correctly. There are many successful event photographers in this world, and I've never once heard a successful photographer say they don't have time to do the job properly. And I guarantee the time you're lacking barely scratches the surface in terms of heavy professional schedules.
I have to squeeze off well over a thousand images in a 4 hour time period. Getting the exposure spot-on really is not optional. If I ever told a client I didn't have time for that, my replacement would be ready to take my place in about 10 seconds.
